Rebirth: Emperor, Long Time No See - C267
By now, the whole Prayer Hall had come to an end. Tomorrow, there would be a Ghost Capture Assembly. Dongfang Ziqing didn’t need to wear this dress anymore. When the time came, there would be no reason for even Shangguan Congxue to force Dongfang Ziqing to wear this dress. Therefore, Dongfang Ziqing also didn’t understand more and more. She didn’t know what intentions Shangguan Tianxue had in mind.
Dongfang Ziqing wasn’t too worried about going to the Archaic Pavilion to see the luncheon later. After all, there were more than a hundred people attending the luncheon, and even if Shangguan Mang Xue wanted to do something, Dongfang Zi Qing believed that he wouldn’t be able to deal with him that easily. Thus, Dongfang Ziqing was at ease as she followed by the side, and then she walked towards the Archaic Pavilion.
At this time, Chen Xuan and Chen Mo were walking at the front of the line with Queen Shangguan Congxue next to them and Dong Fang Ziqing next to them. It could also be seen now that apart from the empress Shangguan Canxue, he was the most favored in the harem. The one with the most respected identity was Dongfang Ziqing’s incarnation, Yuwen Yanran. After them were the ministers participating in the grand ceremony and the concubines of the imperial harem.
Right now, Imperial Concubine Chen and Imperial Concubine Nalan were walking side by side in the middle of the group. Both of them had hatred written all over their faces as they looked at Dongfang Ziqing who was walking in front of the group.
Very soon, everyone had arrived at the Jadeite Pavilion. After the emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, had taken his seat, and Xuanyuan Chen had coughed to clear his throat to Little Treasure who was beside him. Little Treasure nodded in understanding, then took a step forward and spoke to the people below. “The Emperor has decreed that ministers and emperors are to be invited to take their seats.” After Little Treasure finished speaking, he retreated and continued to stand by Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s side.
“Xiaobao, the empress will be taking over the banquet today. Why don’t you go down and find a place to take your seat as well, Xiaobao?” Xuanyuan Chen said as he looked at Little Treasure who was obediently standing at the side.
“Little Treasure, thank you very much, Your Majesty. Today, the empress dowager is inviting all the ministers of the court, as well as the empress dowager. Little Treasure really doesn’t dare to take the seats.” Little Treasure served the emperor by the side. Little Treasure isn’t hungry yet. ” Upon hearing Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s words, Little Treasure hurriedly refused.
“Little Treasure, by the way, where’s Grandmaster Gui?” Xuanyuan Chen asked Little Treasure curiously as he saw that after everyone had settled down, the only one to be seen was the Ghost Catcher Grandmaster.
“Your Majesty, didn’t Grandmaster Gui say that to Your Majesty last time? Ghosts capture masters only appeared when doing things, other times, they would not appear. Furthermore, there will be a Ghost Exorcist Assembly tomorrow. Little Treasure guessed that even Master Ghost Catcher would need more time to prepare for tomorrow’s ceremony. ” Little Treasure said after thinking for a while.
“Oh, yes. Little Treasure, if you don’t tell us, we would have forgotten to check a bit more. Little Treasure, everyone’s almost seated. It’s time for the banquet. ” Xuanyuan Chen nodded his head and said after thinking about Grandmaster Ghost’s strange fetishism.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Xiaobao answered the Emperor’s question and took a step forward. Then, he said, “The Emperor has an order: let the banquet begin.”
When Xiaobao returned to Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s side, Xuanyuan Chen Mo continued, “Xiaobao, do you still have the Holy Water that Ghost Catcher Grandmaster prayed for?”
“To reply your majesty, after all the esteemed ladies have been contaminated with the blessings of the heavens, there’s still about half a pot left.” Little Treasure said honestly. He didn’t ask Xuanyuan Chen why Chen Mo had asked about this.
“Little Treasure, is there still that much Holy Water left? Then I shall give the remaining half basin of holy water to you, Little Treasure. Xiao Bao, you have to cherish it well. Go back and drink the whole basin of holy water. ” Although Xuanyuan Chen Mo appeared very calm after he said it, his words seemed to contain a hint of playfulness.
“Your majesty, your majesty. Little Treasure’s background was humble, so he couldn’t afford to receive such a huge gift from the Emperor. Little Treasure, please retract your order. Little Treasure doesn’t dare to accept it. ” Little Treasure was startled when he heard what Xuanyuan Chen Mo had to say and hurriedly said.
“Ah, Little Treasure. I feel that you are very strange today. This Emperor bestowed upon you delicacies that you did not want, and now this Emperor bestowed upon you holy water, yet you do not want it. “I’ll give you two choices now. You can decide for yourself!” Xuanyuan Chen said with a feigned anger.
When Xiaobao saw Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s angry appearance, he was so frightened that he immediately kneeled down and said, “Xiaobao is willing to choose delicacies. Please grant it, Your Majesty. Little Treasure thanks the Emperor for his gift. ”
Just as Xiaobao was trembling with fear, he suddenly heard the Emperor’s Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s laughter. Hence, Xiaobao raised his head and saw the smiling Xuanyuan Chen Mo. Only then did Xiaobao realize that he had been toyed with by the Emperor.
Little Treasure wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a wave of noise coming from below. Who was so bold as to make such a ruckus in the pavilion? When Little Treasure turned around and wanted to scold the person loudly, he saw a shocking scene unfold below him.
In her panic, Imperial Concubine Yuwen began to dodge to the left and right. However, the imperial concubines there were all concubines of the imperial harem, and everyone was scared to the point of scattering in all directions. Not only was no one coming to help Imperial Concubine Yuwen, they were also crowded with people, blocking the Imperial Concubine Yuwen’s escape route.
Just as one of the daggers was about to stab onto imperial concubine Yuwen’s body, the imperial concubine’s personal maid stepped forward and blocked in front of imperial concubine Yuwen. The knife stabbed into Xue Mei’s arm, instantly dying her pure white sleeves red with blood.
When Little Treasure saw this, he jumped in fright. After recovering his composure, he turned around, and was about to report to Xuanyuan Chen Mo when he saw Chen Mo glaring down at him with an ashen face.
“All of you, stop!” When Xuanyuan Chen Mo saw the chaotic scene below, he angrily stood up and slapped the table in front of him. Just as Xuanyuan Chen Mo was about to explode in anger, everyone else quieted down.
The wrath of the Son of Heaven could kill millions of corpses in one fell swoop. Everyone quieted down under Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s angry roar. Then, Xuanyuan Chen Mo anxiously rushed down from below and ran to Dongfang Ziqing’s side as he asked in a worried voice, “Yanran, are you alright? How could this happen? Are you hurt? Are you scared? “I’ll summon Imperial Physician Xuan later.”
Then, Xuanyuan Chen Mo turned around and shouted at Little Treasure, who was still in a panic, “Hurry and call the imperial physician over. Little Treasure, quick! ”
At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing was indeed frightened, but she was more worried about the maid, Xue Mei, who had helped her block the saber. At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing was holding onto Xuemei tightly. Seeing Xuemei’s white sleeves completely dyed red, Dongfang Ziqing felt a burst of heartache.
“Your Majesty, Yanran is fine. “Yanran didn’t know why this happened either, but Yanran’s personal maid was injured. I ask that the emperor make sure to make the imperial physician treat Yanran’s maid, Xue Mei, well.” Dongfang Ziqing said to the Emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo, with a panicked expression.
“Yanran, don’t worry. I will definitely not let anything happen to Xue Mei. I will reward her well for her efforts to protect my master.” I’ll send someone to send you back to the palace. I’ll come see you again after I’ve dealt with the matters here. Little Treasure, send someone to capture all of those concubines who committed the murder just now and then wait for the people from the small clan to investigate! “Xuanyuan Chen Mo said angrily.
Just now, Xuanyuan Chen Mo was indeed frightened, and if the concubines had not panicked, Dongfang Ziqing would have been able to escape, but because of that chaotic situation, Dongfang Ziqing would have had nowhere to run to. If it wasn’t for Xue Mei blocking one of Dongfang Ziqing’s sabers, Dongfang Ziqing would have been on top of Dongfang Ziqing’s body now that she had returned to the palace for the second time.
Thus, the moment Xuanyuan Chen opened his mouth, he immediately handed the matter over to the imperial palace’s most mysterious and final adjudication institution, the Little Sectlord Manor. Just as Xuanyuan Chenmo finished his sentence, several agile figures appeared out of nowhere and subdued a few dashing imperial concubines.
